I expected stares but everyone was feeling focused on getting through the workout. It was very hard. I didn't feel like this was beginner or tail bone injury friendly. So tips from a newbie like me 1. Stretch before you get there. 2. Drink water. 3. Just do the best you can. I modified a lot of my moves but got through it. I would come again. Maybe practice a little at home now that I know what's going on.

She packed in a lot in 45 minutes. It was challenging, but fun. I'm already sore, it was that good of a workout. I met Emily who is one of the owners. She introduced herself and was very nice. She even participated in the class. The studio is located in a small shopping center in Hamilton. They are all the way in the back. There's a sign on the fence in the parking lot which made it easier for me to find. I can't wait to sign up for another class!

This studio is stellar in every regard - leagues above other barre studios I've attended. I began…read moretaking classes here in 2012. At that time, I was either dancing and/ or running every day of the week. Once I began taking class, I noticed a difference in how my body held itself up; my core strengthened and my performance in my other activities improved. The Bar Method strengthens the entire body through small isometric movements, using your own body weight, as well as small handheld weights. After you work each body part, you stretch it; the practice leads to increased muscle strength, as well as greater flexibility. The practice focuses on alignment and posture, so while the hour long workout is rigorous, it is also low impact and exceedingly safe. In 2020, I moved back to Walnut Creek and had my daughter. Two years later, I returned to Bar Method and felt the classes helped me reconnect to my body. Making carrying around a squirrelly toddler much easier. Not only that, but the studio brought with it a sense of community, and the onsite childcare made my re-entry to Bar a possiblity. The co-owners, Chelsea and Audrey, are delightful human beings. They set the tone for the studio. The instructors are brilliant, many of whom have been teaching there for over ten years. It's an inclusive, welcoming environment. I could not recommend more whole heartedly.

I love the Hot Pilates so much, and 20 & 2, but I am really enjoying the newer (to us) Radiant Power Flow Class Elias teaches (for now they are Thursday at 9). He is an exceptional instructor and the class is unique. I work as hard and sweat as much as in 26& 2, but in only one hour with less heat. All classes are great, there is something for everyone and the variety is essential!

I was just reading through some old reviews on here and I have to say that it's super…read moreObvious to me that the people writing the negative reviews generally seem to have no idea what bikram classes are about. I've been practicing 30 plus years everywhere from Los Angeles to San Francisco to New York. The classes in big cities tend to be stricter, and take the same approach bikram himself takes when he teaches. Sonoma has only one or two teachers who take this approach and although everyone's complaining I have to say- for bikram lovers - the hard core teaching is amazing. You would not get upset at your personal trainer for pushing you, so why is this any different? I'm a person who needs extra help staying disciplined and a good, strict bikram teacher can be the best thing ever.

Studio is CUTE cute... I almost forgot I was there to work out and not shop the jewelry and little finds. Also bless the bouncy floors... no grip sock police here. I wore my own socks, my friend went barefoot, nobody was forced into emergency sock purchases and we all survived. Class had a bunch of newbies and still managed to sneak in moves I've never seen before. There's one on the straps where you're basically doing crunches mid-air... aggressive but effective. Instructor was dialed in, actually watching form, checking in on bodies, and not making it weird when we said we were just passing through. Clean space, plenty of cubbies, easy parking situation, and yes they're on ClassPass which makes this a no brainer if you're bouncing around studios. Left feeling stretched out, hip way happier, and mildly humbled. 10/10 would go back again.

I love that every class is a little different--it keeps things fresh and never boring. The music is always on point and totally pumps you up! And it WORKS! I started seeing a difference in my body after only a few classes. I was more toned, I had more energy, and I lost a lot of the stubborn baby weight that was clinging to me. The instructors are amazing--so friendly, always smiling, they know your name and make you feel seen. They're great about offering alternatives if something doesn't feel quite right, and I really appreciate that they walk around and gently help correct your form so you get the most out of each move. The community here is just buzzing with good energy. Everyone is so welcoming and genuinely kind. I've even had those fun "Barre Babe in the wild!" moments when you run into someone from class around town--it always sparks a happy conversation. If you're looking for a workout that's uplifting, challenging, and full of positive vibes, YoloBarre is it!
